Study Notes
Physiological Benefits of Hypertonic Saline
- One of the physiological benefits of hypertonic saline is that it increases blood volume and cardiac output.
Adverse Effects of Hypertonic Saline
- A common adverse effect of hypertonic saline is phlebitis.
- It is not a potential adverse effect of hypertonic saline to cause cardiac arrhythmias.
Indications for Hartmann's Solution
- Hartmann's solution is not appropriate in cases of hypochloraemia.
Advantages of Non-Parenteral Fluid Administration
- One advantage of non-parenteral fluid administration is that it allows for more rapid and effective fluid absorption.
Types of Fluids
- Electrolyte-rich fluids are absorbed into the body and remain within the gastrointestinal tract.
- Fluids per rectum are recommended for treatment of large colon impactions.
Indications for Oral Fluid Supplementation
- One potential indication for oral fluid supplementation is in cases of mild dehydration.
Contraindications for Hypertonic Saline
- Hypertonic saline is not appropriate in cases of cerebral oedema or hypervolaemia.
Adverse Effects of Fluids Per Rectum
- One potential adverse effect of using fluids per rectum is that it can cause electrolyte abnormalities.
- Mineral oil is not recommended for internal use due to the potential risk of lipid pneumonia.
Uses of Fluids Per Rectum
- Fluids per rectum can be used in conjunction with IV fluids for resuscitation.
- Fluids per rectum are not used for treating dehydration.
Characteristics of Intravenous Fluids
- Hypotonic fluids are best avoided due to their potential to cause cellular oedema.
- Normal saline is used in most cases as a replacement fluid.
- Lactated Ringer's solution can be acidified and is used in many cases.
- Hartmann's solution is higher in K+ and lower in Na+ compared to plasma.
- D5W must not be used to bolus due to its potential to cause hyperglycaemia.
- D5W can lead to hypoproteinaemia and hypocoagulability.
- Normal saline is low in K+ and Mg2+.
Situations for Lactate-Containing Fluids
- Lactate-containing fluids are more appropriate in situations where there is a high lactate load.
Attractive Fluid Options
- Hypertonic saline is attractive if there is a limited period of time for resuscitation.
Contraindications for Intravenous Fluids
- D5W is best avoided due to its hypotonic nature.
- Hartmann's solution is not appropriate in cases of hypochloraemia.
- D5W can lead to hypoproteinaemia and hypocoagulability.
Fluid Administration Rates
- The maximum fluid rate per rectum in a 70kg adult human is 100-200ml/min.
